Session A-3: Across The Wide Missouri: Illinois & Early Exploration Of The Trans-Mississippi West, Claiborne A. Skinner Jr.
Claiborne A. Skinner Jr.
Illinois History is often perceived as a contradiction in terms. Until the arrival of Abraham Lincoln, most folks think that nothing of any note happened here. This presentation will address the French traders and explorers from the Illinois Country who pushed west up the Missouri and Arkansas Rivers in the century preceding Lewis and Clark's more famous jaunt. The two knew of these French travelers only too well and recruited a half dozen Illinois French at Fort Massac and Kaskaskia to show them how to get to the "unknown". The effect these men had on the Plains was profound.

Systematic Literature Review Methods For Topics In The Humanities, Paul Fehrmann, Michael Hawkins
Systematic Literature Review Methods For Topics In The Humanities, Paul Fehrmann, Michael Hawkins
Paul Fehrmann
“How one searches determines what one finds; and what one finds is the basis of the conclusions of one's integration of studies.” [See Glass, G. V. (1981). Meta-analysis in social research.]. Systematic review methods (SRM) offer possibilities for increasing the rigor of “reviews of the literature”. SRM have been widely adopted in the health and social sciences. What about SRM for topics in the humanities ? This PowerPoint was used for a presentation for the 2015 ACRL Virtual Conference.

Sound And The Moving Image:Critical Characteristics For Spectator Response, Kara Rader, Rafeeq I. Roberts, Matt Egizii, Jeffery Allen
Rafeeq I Roberts
The prevailing wisdom in the film and video production industries is that audio information outweighs visual information when it comes to spectator responses, but there are few empirical studies to support this claim. In previous research, four critical characteristics of sound have been identified: (1) Music, (2) visual/sound contradictions (defined as sound that is inconsistent with audience expectations based on visual information), (3) multi-channel sound, and (4) sound quality. Building on our previous research into music and film, we have found that many researchers have looked into the question of how music affects emotions (Eschrich et al., 2008; Have, 2008; …

Utah Valley University's George Sutherland Archives participated in a state-wide digitization project called Pioneers In Your Attic: Preserving the Legacy of the Overland Migration. Developed by Scott Eldredge of Brigham Young University, several university digitization centers, or hubs, collaborated with regional public libraries, museums, and historical societies to host "scanning events," inviting members of the public to bring unique, historic family photographs and documents, such as diaries, journals, letters, and business papers, to be scanned for free, and added to an openly accessible online digital collection called Pioneers In Your Attic. This presentation focuses on the overall experiences of staff …

The Role Of Information Literacy In Service Learning Courses: A Case Study And Best Practices, Christopher A. Sweet
The Role Of Information Literacy In Service Learning Courses: A Case Study And Best Practices, Christopher A. Sweet
Christopher A. Sweet
Service Learning is a quickly growing movement within higher education that empowers students to utilize classroom knowledge to solve a problem or effect a change within their local community. Information Literacy is critical for getting students to understand the “why” and “how” that should ground all service learning projects.
This presentation will begin with an overview of the service learning movement. Next, I will present a case study of my experiences as an embedded librarian in an Environmental Studies Senior Seminar. The presentation will conclude with a summary of emerging best practices for incorporating information literacy into service learning courses.
